Rabbets, Dados, and Grooves

Rebuild bookshelf with joinery. Use grouping and guides.

This original course was created in 2009 using an older version of SketchUp. While it helped thousands of people learn SketchUp, the UI has changed considerably.

If you want to get started today with the most recent version of SketchUp, join our latest SketchUp For Woodworkers course.

In this tutorial we rebuild our bookshelf with the shelves dadoed into the sides. We also rabbet the back on. I introduce the ‘guides’ feature of the tape measure as well as several shortcuts for navigating around your model, more fun with groups and different ways to select exactly what you want.
